I simply cannot believe my little Benedict is turning 2. years. old!! Wow!
Believe it or not, I actually have been meaning to blog about this little man since May of this year.
Because: He. Is. Crazy. !!!! I say that as a matter of fact. I say that as a matter of endearment. I say that as a matter of curiosity and desire to know what the future holds for this fellow.
This evening (Dec. 23rd. 2013) as I walk around and around our house trying to put our #4 to sleep - Benedict sincerely consumed 100% of my 90 minutes of walking. He is quite the interesting fellow - I tell you. He was an easy baby and, actually, fairly boring from 0-16 months.
Then - Agatha was born. He spent the week with Uncle Mark and Aunt Mary during May when he was 15 months old - HE CAME BACK A DIFFERENT PERSON!!! Wow - I don't know what they did to him (according to Aunt Mary, nothing!), but he met Agatha and he was a different little man.
What changed? He became crazy! Well...very endearingly, he instantly loved Agatha. But, otherwise, he basically because....somewhat of a psycho. As a matter of fact.
But, now? At the age of 2? He demands attention. He demands attention - not in a 'dangerous' sort of way, but in an aggressive sort of way. He will bring me a knife - running at me! He will bring me 'Dada's razor' while running to me. But - surprisingly (although it may sound strange), he is very capable and safe - he is very aware.
He is not yet 2 years old, but thankfully, he is potty trained (thankfully he did it himself) and he is sleeping in a big boy bed. He loves being with his older brother and sister.
With regard to his temperament? He is a character. A family member recently asked me if he is called 'Ben' or something else? Well, at this point, we call him 'Benedict' or we call him 'Dici'. Really, in all honestly, he is a force to be reconciled with. I am his mother and one day he'll give me a hug and kiss, the other day I will tell him 'I love you, Dici'! and he will slap me in the face (maybe as a sign of love?). As I mentioned, he was easy for me to think about for th3 90 minutes I walked around tonight - He Is A Character. What else comes to mind about him? He LOVES Dad. Oh my gosh. Dad is a GOD around this house. That is a good thing.
We love you, Benedict!! God bless you on your sweet 2nd Birthday!
